Creating a custom carrier board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) can seem daunting—but with the right tools and best practices, it becomes a highly rewarding venture. Whether you’re buil...
I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) and wanted to flash it with the Raspberry Pi OS using a laptop running Ubuntu 20.04, but was faced with an error when trying to flash the ...
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a powerful microcontroller that can be used for a variety of projects. I recently began a build to create a controller to interface with projects via the Pico’s wifi and bl...
As the IoT landscape expands, more devices communicate on the 433 MHz frequency, a common frequency for home automation systems, remote controls, weather stations, and similar IoT devices. With the...
In modern software development, managing dependencies and configuring environments can often be a tedious and error-prone task. To simplify this process, we’ve revamped our install.sh script, which...
Emir Hamurcu has been collaborating with the OpenBCI Discovery Program to develop a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system that allows users to control devices with their thoughts. This innovative t...
In the Modular Biped Project I wanted to achieve a cleaner, scalable, and modular design where new modules can be added or removed without needing to modify main.py. To achieve this I wanted to ref...
I love being able to remote into my Raspberry Pi, but sometimes entering the username / password combo can be time consuming, especially after multiple restarts. Let’s take a look at a way to store...
As this was my first foray into the world of brushless DC motors (BLDC) I decided what better way to start than to find the cheapest motor possible without any documentation… Introduction The BL4...
We covered modules briefly in the last video, but today I want to deep dive into why Viam modules are useful, how they’re used, and then look at creating our own. Let’s talk about the two main e...
